Who runs HYPED
HYPED is operated by the developer of the app (“we”, “us”). Contact: jennlee6000@gmail.com.
What we collect
Account information. When you create an account we collect your email address and, if you provide it, a display name. Authentication is handled by Google Firebase Authentication; we never see or store your password.
Reports you save. When you tap SAVE on a report, we store that report and the product name it covers, along with the time you saved it. Scanning a product without saving it stores nothing.
Product searches and photos. When you search a product name or scan a product with the camera, that text or image is sent to our server and forwarded to Anthropic’s Claude API to produce the report. Photos are used only to identify the product in that moment. We do not store your photos — they are held in memory for the duration of the request and discarded.
Technical data. Our server logs standard request information (timestamps, error messages) for reliability, and applies per-account rate limits.
We do not collect location, contacts, device identifiers for advertising, or usage analytics. HYPED contains no advertising and no third-party trackers.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your personal information.
- We do not share your data with third parties for advertising.
- We do not use your saved reports to train AI models.
- We do not build advertising profiles.
Subscription and billing
HYPED offers an optional paid subscription that unlocks product scanning. Subscriptions are sold and billed exclusively through Google Play.
We never see your payment details. Your card, billing address, and payment history stay with Google. They are not sent to our server and we have no way to retrieve them.
What we do store. When you subscribe, Google Play gives the app a purchase token. Our server sends that token to Google to confirm the purchase is genuine, then stores the token together with the resulting subscription state — the product you bought, whether it is active, when the current period ends, and whether it is set to renew. This is the record that tells the app whether your account may scan. A purchase token can only ever be linked to one HYPED account.
How to cancel. You can cancel at any time, and cancelling is always two taps from inside the app: Settings → Manage subscription, which opens your subscription directly in Google Play. You can also cancel from the Play Store app or at play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions. We place no screens, offers, or extra steps in the way.
What cancelling does. Cancelling stops the subscription from renewing. You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for — we do not cut access at the moment you cancel. We do not issue refunds ourselves; refunds are handled by Google under the Google Play refund policy.
Deleting your account also releases its purchase-token link, so a subscription you paid for can be restored on a new account. Deleting your HYPED account does not cancel your Google Play subscription — cancel it in Play as well, or it will keep renewing.
Who processes your data
| Provider | What they handle | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase Authentication, Firestore | Email address, saved reports | Sign-in and storage |
| Anthropic Claude API | Product names and scanned photos | Generating reports |
| Google Play Billing | Payment details, purchase tokens | Selling and verifying subscriptions |
| Our hosting provider | Request traffic | Running the server |
Each processes data on our behalf under their own terms. Anthropic’s API terms state that API inputs are not used to train their models.
How long we keep it
Saved reports remain until you delete them or delete your account. History is capped at the 100 most recent reports per account; older ones are removed automatically. Account records persist until you delete your account.
Subscription records — the purchase token and the subscription state derived from it — are kept for as long as the account exists, because they are what proves your access. They are deleted with the account.
Your choices
Delete a single report — swipe into History and tap ✕.
Cancel your subscription — Settings → Manage subscription, or from Google Play directly. See Subscription and billing above.
Delete your account — Settings → Delete Account. This permanently removes your saved reports, your subscription record, your daily usage counters, your user record, and your sign-in credentials. It cannot be undone, and we retain nothing afterwards. Cancel your Google Play subscription separately if you have one.
Access your data — email us at jennlee6000@gmail.com and we will provide a copy of what is stored for your account.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (access, correction, deletion, portability, or objection) under laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA. Email us and we will honour them.
Children
HYPED is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
Traffic between the app and our server is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Passwords are managed by Firebase Authentication and never reach our server. Our database is not directly reachable by the app: every read and write goes through our API, which verifies your identity on each request.
No system is perfectly secure, but we design for least access and store the minimum we need.
About the reports
HYPED reports are AI-generated analysis and may be incomplete or wrong. They are opinion and information, not professional, medical, legal, or purchasing advice, and no report should be treated as a statement of fact about any company or product.
Changes
If this policy changes materially we will update the date above and note the change in the app’s release notes.
